BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to an optical image capturing system, and more particularly to a compact optical image capturing system which can be applied to electronic products.

2. Description of the Related Art

In recent years, the popularization of portable electronic devices with camera functionalities has spurred the demand for optical image capturing systems. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). Owing to the advancement in semiconductor devices manufacturing technology, the pixel size of the image sensing device is gradually minimized, and this allows more pixels to be squeezed into the image sensing device. Therefore, more and more high resolution optical image capturing systems are developed, and the bar for the image quality of the optical image capturing system is raised accordingly.

Conventional optical image capturing systems of portable electronic devices usually adopt four-lens or five-lens designs. However, since the resolution of the portable electronic devices is improving constantly, not to mention more and more end-users are demanding for cameras having large aperture, which is equipped with functionalities such as low light mode or night mode, the optical image capturing systems of the state of the art may not be sufficient to meet those advanced photography requirements.

Therefore, it is a pressing issue to come up a way to effectively increase the amount of light admitted into the optical image capturing system and improve the image quality thereof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The aspect of embodiment of the present disclosure directs to an optical image capturing system and an optical image capturing lens which use combination of refractive powers, convex and concave surfaces of six-piece optical lenses (the convex or concave surface in the disclosure denotes the change of geometrical shape of an object-side surface or an image-side surface of each lens element at different heights from an optical axis) to increase the amount of light admitted into the optical image capturing system, and to improve quality of image formation, so that the optical image capturing system can be disposed in minimized electronic products.

Furthermore, when it comes to certain application of optical imaging, there will be a need to capture image via light sources with wavelengths in both visible and infrared ranges, an example of this kind of application is IP video surveillance camera, which is equipped with the Day & Night function. The visible spectrum for human vision has wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm, but the image formed on the camera sensor includes infrared light, which is invisible to human eyes. Therefore, under certain circumstances, an IR cut filter removable (ICR) is placed before the sensor of the IP video surveillance camera, in order to ensure that only the light that is visible to human eyes is picked up by the sensor eventually, so as to enhance the “fidelity” of the image. The ICR of the IP video surveillance camera can completely filter out the infrared light under daytime mode to avoid color cast; whereas under night mode, it allows infrared light to pass through the lens to enhance the image brightness. Nevertheless, the elements of the ICR occupy a significant amount of space and are expensive, which impede to the design and manufacture of miniaturized surveillance cameras in the future.

The aspect of embodiment of the present disclosure directs to an optical image capturing system and an optical image capturing lens which utilize the combination of refractive powers, convex surfaces and concave surfaces of four lens elements, as well as the selection of materials thereof, to reduce the difference between the imaging focal length of visible light and imaging focal length of infrared light, in order to achieve the near “confocal” effect without the use of ICR elements.

The optical image capturing system can be designed and applied to biometrics, for example, facial recognition.

The linear magnification of the infrared light on the image plane is LM, and it meets the following conditions: LM≥0.0003, where LM=(30 horizontal pixels)*(1.4 μm pixel size)/(15 cm, width of the photographed object). Alternatively, the visible light can also be adopted as the operation wavelength for image recognition. When the visible light is adopted, for a face of about 15 cm wide at a distance of 25-30 cm, at least 50 horizontal pixels can be formed in the horizontal direction of an image sensor (pixel size of 1.4 micrometers (μm)).

The length of the outline curve of any surface of single lens element within the range of maximum effective half diameter affects the performance in correcting the surface aberration and the optical path difference between the rays in each field of view. The longer outline curve may lead to a better performance in aberration correction, but the difficulty of the production may become higher. Hence, the length of the outline curve (ARS) of any surface of a single lens element within the range of the maximum effective half diameter has to be controlled, and especially, the proportional relationship (ARS/TP) between the length of the outline curve (ARS) of the surface within the range of the maximum effective half diameter and the central thickness (TP) of the lens element to which the surface belongs on the optical axis has to be controlled. For example, the length of the maximum effective half diameter outline curve of the object-side surface of the first lens element is denoted as ARS11, and the central thickness of the first lens element on the optical axis is TP1, and the ratio between both of them is ARS11/TP1. The length of the maximum effective half diameter outline curve of the image-side surface of the first lens element is denoted as ARS12, and the ratio between ARS12 and TP1 is ARS12/TP1. The length of the maximum effective half diameter outline curve of the object-side surface of the second lens element is denoted as ARS21, and the central thickness of the second lens element on the optical axis is TP2, and the ratio between both of them is ARS21/TP2. The length of the maximum effective half diameter outline curve of the image-side surface of the second lens element is denoted as ARS22, and the ratio between ARS22 and TP2 is ARS22/TP2. The proportional relationships between the lengths of the maximum effective half diameter outline curve of any surface of the other lens elements and the central thicknesses (TP) of the lens elements to which the surfaces belong on the optical axis are denoted in the similar way.

The length of ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of any surface of a single lens element particularly affects its performance in correcting the aberration in the shared region of each field of view and the optical path difference among each field of view. The longer outline curve may lead to a better function of aberration correction, but the difficulty in the production of such lens may become higher. Hence, the length of ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of any surface of a single lens element has to be controlled, and especially, the proportional relationship between the length of ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of any surface of a single lens element and the central thickness on the optical axis has to be controlled. For example, the length of the ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of the object-side surface of the first lens element is denoted as ARE11, and the central thickness of the first lens element on the optical axis is TP1, and the ratio thereof is ARE11/TP1. The length of the ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of the image-side surface of the first lens element is denoted as ARE12, and the central thickness of the first lens element on the optical axis is TP1, and the ratio thereof is ARE12/TP1. The length of the ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of the object-side surface of the first lens element is denoted as ARE21, and the central thickness of the second lens element on the optical axis is TP2, and the ratio thereof is ARE21/TP2. The length of the ½ entrance pupil diameter outline curve of the image-side surface of the second lens element is denoted as ARE22, and the central thickness of the second lens element on the optical axis is TP2, and the ratio thereof is ARE22/TP2. The ratios of the ½ HEP outline curves on any surface of the remaining lens elements of the optical image capturing system to the central thicknesses (TP) of that lens element can be computed in similar way.

The height of optical system (HOS) may be reduced to achieve the minimization of the optical image capturing system when the absolute value of f1 is larger than f6 (|f1|>f6).

When |f2|+|f3|+|f4|+|f5| and |f1|+|f6| satisfy the aforementioned conditions, at least one of the second through fifth lens elements may have a weak positive refractive power or a weak negative refractive power. The weak refractive power indicates that an absolute value of the focal length of a specific lens element is greater than 10. When at least one of the second through fifth lens elements has the weak positive refractive power, the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be shared by it, such that the unnecessary aberration will not appear too early. On the contrary, when at least one of the second and third lens elements has the weak negative refractive power, the aberration of the optical image capturing system can be slightly corrected.

The sixth lens element may have negative refractive power, and the image-side surface thereof may be a concave surface. With this configuration, the back focal distance of the optical image capturing system may be shortened and the system may be minimized. Besides, at least one surface of the sixth lens element may possess at least one inflection point, which is capable of effectively reducing the incident angle of the off-axis rays, thereby further correcting the off-axis aberration.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention has been described with some preferred embodiments thereof and it is understood that many changes and modifications in the described embodiments can be carried out without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention that is intended to be limited only by the appended claims.

An optical image capturing system is provided, which includes, in the order from an object side to an image side, a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lens elements with refractive powers and an image plane. The optical image capturing system may further include an image sensing device, which is disposed on an image plane.

The optical image capturing system may use three sets of operation wavelengths, which are 486.1 nm, 587.5 nm and 656.2 nm, respectively, and 587.5 nm is served as the primary reference wavelength and a reference wavelength to obtain technical features of the optical system. The optical image capturing system may also use five sets of wavelengths which are 470 nm, 510 nm, 555 nm, 610 nm and 650 nm, respectively, and 555 nm is served as the primary reference wavelength and a reference wavelength to obtain technical features of the optical system.

The ratio of the focal length f of the optical image capturing system to a focal length fp of each lens element with positive refractive power is PPR. The ratio of the focal length f of the optical image capturing system to a focal length fn of each lens element with negative refractive power is NPR. The sum of the PPR of all lens elements with positive refractive powers is ΣPPR. The sum of the NPR of all lens elements with negative refractive powers is ΣNPR. The total refractive power and the total length of the optical image capturing system can be controlled easily when following conditions are satisfied: 0.5≤ΣPPR/|ΣNPR|≤15. Preferably, the following condition may be satisfied: 1≤ΣPPR/|ΣNPR|≤3.0.

The optical image capturing system may further include an image sensing device which is disposed on an image plane. Half of a diagonal of an effective detection field of the image sensing device (imaging height or the maximum image height of the optical image capturing system) is HOI. The distance on the optical axis from the object-side surface of the first lens element to the image plane is HOS. The following conditions are satisfied: HOS/HOI≤50 and 0.5≤HOS/f≤150. Preferably, the following conditions may be satisfied: 1≤HOS/HOI≤40 and 1≤HOS/f≤140. With this configuration, the size of the optical image capturing system can be kept small, such that a lightweight electronic product is able to accommodate it.

In addition, in the optical image capturing system of the disclosure, according to different requirements, at least one aperture stop may be arranged to reduce stray light and improve the imaging quality.

In the optical image capturing system of the disclosure, the aperture stop may be a front or middle aperture. The front aperture is the aperture stop between a photographed object and the first lens element. The middle aperture is the aperture stop between the first lens element and the image plane. In the case that the aperture stop is the front aperture, a longer distance between the exit pupil and the image plane of the optical image capturing system can be formed, such that more optical elements can be disposed in the optical image capturing system and the efficiency of the image sensing device in receiving image can be improved. In the case that the aperture stop is the middle aperture, the angle of view of the optical image capturing system can be expended, such that the optical image capturing system has the same advantage that is owned by wide angle cameras. The distance from the aperture stop to the image plane is InS. The following condition may be satisfied: 0.1≤InS/HOS≤1.1. Therefore, the size of the optical image capturing system can be kept small without sacrificing the feature of wide angle of view.

In the optical image capturing system of the disclosure, the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens element to the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is InTL. The sum of central thicknesses of all lens elements with refractive power on the optical axis is ΣTP. The following condition may be satisfied: 0.1≤ΣTP/InTL≤0.9. Therefore, the contrast ratio for the image formation in the optical image capturing system can be improved without sacrificing the yield rate for manufacturing the lens element, and a proper back focal length is provided to accommodate other optical components in the optical image capturing system.

The curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1. The curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element is R2. The following condition is satisfied: 0.001≤|R1/R2|≤25. Therefore, the first lens element may have a suitable magnitude of positive refractive power, so as to prevent the longitudinal spherical aberration from increasing too fast. Preferably, the following condition may be satisfied: 0.01≤|R1/R2|<12.

The curvature radius of the object-side surface of the sixth lens element is R11. The curvature radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is R12. The following condition is satisfied: −7<(R11−R12)/(R11+R12)<50. This configuration is beneficial to the correction of the astigmatism generated by the optical image capturing system.

The distance between the first lens element and the second lens element on the optical axis is IN12. The following condition is satisfied: IN12/f≤60. Therefore, the chromatic aberration of the lens elements can be mitigated, such that their performance is improved.

The distance between the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element on the optical axis is IN56. The following condition is satisfied: IN56/f≤3.0. Therefore, the chromatic aberration of the lens elements can be mitigated, such that their performance is improved.

Central thicknesses of the first lens element and the second lens element on the optical axis are TP1 and TP2, respectively. The following condition may be satisfied: 0.1≤(TP1+IN12)/TP2≤10. Therefore, the sensitivity of the optical image capturing system can be controlled, and its performance can be improved.

Central thicknesses of the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element on the optical axis are TP5 and TP6, respectively, and the distance between that two lens elements on the optical axis is IN56. The following condition may be satisfied: 0.1≤(TP6+IN56)/TP5≤15. Therefore, the sensitivity of the optical image capturing system can be controlled and the total height of the optical image capturing system can be reduced.

The central thicknesses of the second, third and fourth lens elements on the optical axis are TP2, TP3 and TP4, respectively. The distance between the second lens element and the third lens element on the optical axis is IN23; the distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element on the optical axis is IN34; the distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element on the optical axis is IN45. The distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is denoted by InTL. The following condition may be satisfied: 0.1≤TP4/(IN34+TP4+IN45)<1. Therefore, the aberration generated when the incident light is travelling inside the optical system can be corrected slightly layer upon layer, and the total height of the optical image capturing system can be reduced.

In the optical image capturing system of the first embodiment, a distance perpendicular to the optical axis between a critical point C61 on an object-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is HVT61. A distance perpendicular to the optical axis between a critical point C62 on an image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is HVT62. A distance in parallel with the optical axis from an axial point on the object-side surface of the sixth lens element to the critical point C61 is SGC61. A distance in parallel with the optical axis from an axial point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element to the critical point C62 is SGC62. The following conditions may be satisfied: 0 mm≤HVT61≤3 mm, 0 mm<HVT62≤6 mm, 0≤HVT61/HVT62, 0 mm≤|SGC61|≤0.5 mm; 0 mm<|SGC62|≤2 mm, and 0<|SGC62|/(|SGC62|+TP6)≤0.9. Therefore, the off-axis aberration can be corrected effectively.

The following condition is satisfied for the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure: 0.2≤HVT62/HOI≤0.9. Preferably, the following condition may be satisfied: 0.3≤HVT62/HOI≤0.8. Therefore, the aberration of surrounding field of view for the optical image capturing system can be corrected.

The optical image capturing system of the present disclosure may satisfy the following condition: 0≤HVT62/HOS≤0.5. Preferably, the following condition may be satisfied: 0.2≤HVT62/HOS≤0.45. Therefore, the aberration of surrounding field of view for the optical image capturing system can be corrected.

In one embodiment of the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure, the chromatic aberration of the optical image capturing system can be corrected by alternatively arranging the lens elements with large Abbe number and small Abbe number.

The optical image capturing system provided by the disclosure, the lens elements may be made of glass or plastic material. If plastic material is adopted to produce the lens elements, the cost of manufacturing as well as the weight of the lens element can be reduced effectively. If lens elements are made of glass, the heat effect can be controlled, and there will be more options to allocation the refractive powers of the lens elements in the optical image capturing system. Besides, the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the first through sixth lens elements may be aspheric, which provides more control variables, such that the number of lens elements used can be reduced in contrast to traditional glass lens element, and the aberration can be reduced too. Thus, the total height of the optical image capturing system can be reduced effectively.

Furthermore, in the optical image capturing system provided by the present disclosure, when the lens element has a convex surface, the surface of that lens element basically has a convex portion in the vicinity of the optical axis. When the lens element has a concave surface, the surface of that lens element basically has a concave portion in the vicinity of the optical axis.

The optical image capturing system of the disclosure can be adapted to the optical image capturing system with automatic focus whenever it is necessary. With the features of a good aberration correction and a high quality image formation, the optical image capturing system can be used in various applications.

The optical image capturing system of the disclosure can include a driving module according to the actual requirements. The driving module may be coupled with the lens elements and enables the movement of the lens elements. The driving module described above may be the voice coil motor (VCM) which is applied to move the lens to focus, or may be the optical image stabilization (OIS) which is applied to reduce the frequency the optical system is out of focus owing to the vibration of the lens during photo or video shooting.

In the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure, at least one lens element among the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth lens elements may be a light filtering element for light with wavelength of less than 500 nm, depending on the design requirements. The light filtering element may be made by coating film on at least one surface of that lens element with certain filtering function, or forming that lens element with material that can filter light with short wavelength.

The image plane of the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure may be a plane or a curved surface, depending on the design requirement. When the image plane is a curved surface (e.g. a spherical surface with curvature radius), the incident angle required such that the rays are focused on the image plane can be reduced. As such, the length of the optical image capturing system (TTL) can be minimized, and the relative illumination may be improved as well.

As shown in FIG. 3A, in the order from the object side to the image side, the optical image capturing system includes a first lens element 310, a second lens element 320, a third lens element 330, an aperture stop 300, a fourth lens element 340, a fifth lens element 350, a sixth lens element 360, an IR-bandstop filter 380, an image plane 390, and an image sensing device 392.

The first lens element 310 has negative refractive power and is made of plastic material. The first lens element 310 has a convex object-side surface 312 and a concave image-side surface 314, and both of the object-side surface 312 and a image-side surface 314 are aspheric. The object-side surface 312 thereof has one inflection point.

The second lens element 320 has positive refractive power and is made of plastic material. The second lens element 320 has a concave object-side surface 322 and a convex image-side surface 324, and both of the object-side surface 322 and a image-side surface 324 are aspheric. The object-side surface 322 thereof has two inflection points.

The third lens element 330 has positive refractive power and is made of plastic material. The third lens element 330 has a concave object-side surface 332 and a convex image-side surface 334, and both of the object-side surface 332 and a image-side surface 334 are aspheric.
